On the residual finiteness of outer automorphisms of relatively hyperbolic groups

Group Theory 2007-05-23 v3 Geometric Topology

Abstract

We show that every virtually torsion-free subgroup of the outer automorphism group of a conjugacy separable hyperbolic group is residually finite. As a result, we are able to prove that the group of outer automorphisms of every finitely generated Fuchsian group and of every free-by-finite group is resudually finite. We also generalize the main result for relatively hyperbolic groups.
